ThomasV, the author of Electrum, has made it public that he is not going to add new features to the client while a couple of us still see a lot of room for improvement.
can you clarify this point?
Some longer and shorter term plans as I understand them at this point:
Full functional lite-gui, having all the basic features the lite-gui needs.
Working binary for all operating systems and distro's.
Improved user friendly Wizard on first launch.
Build in alt-chain support.
This means I already got what I need in ThomasV's 0.59b version. Maintenance wouldn't be so bad after all.
